Book of the Week....

My book of the week is A Bend in the Road by Nicholas Sparks. A friend of mine recommended this book and it's really great so far. This book is about a man who has lost his wife in a hit-and-run accident. He meets someone that could heal his heart but a secret might keep them apart. Check it out...

Quote of the Week...

I don't know who wrote this quote but I think it's a great quote and so true.

"The only people you need in your life are the ones that need you in theirs."

Slow Dance...

This poem was written by a teenage girl with cancer. I thought it was so moving that I had to share.

SLOW DANCE

Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say,"Hi"
You'd better slow down..
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.

Life is not a race.

Do take it slower

Hear the music

Before the song is over.
